Chapter 126: The Yin-Yang School Changes Hands

'Profound' means mysterious!

'Profound Heaven' refers to the northern sky, and also generally refers to "Heaven." Su Xuan calling himself "Profound Heaven Dao Lord"—such arrogant words, entering the ears of the Yin-Yang School members, caused their expressions to change.

Arrogant, truly too arrogant.

The title Donghuang Taiyi has the meaning of "Supreme Deity of Heaven" in mythology, representing a supreme status. Su Xuan’s self-proclaimed title, interpreted another way, meant Master of the Heavenly Dao; this was a title that stood on equal footing with Donghuang Taiyi.

Besides this, the people of the Yin-Yang School also had other thoughts.

The main reason was because... the style was completely out of place.

In the Yin-Yang School, apart from the Left and Right Protectors, the titles of the other high-ranking members all came from the mythology of the Chu region. In the past, the Chu State Lingyin Mi Qu Yuan even wrote a rhapsody for these mythological figures, titled "Nine Songs." Many of the Yin-Yang School's titles have corresponding chapters in the Nine Songs.

The Sect Master is Donghuang Taiyi, the Vice Sect Master is the Eastern Lord, and the Five Elders are the Cloud Lord, Xiang Lord, Lady Xiang, Great Commander, and Shao Commander.

It can be said that among the ten deities of the Nine Songs, all except the State Martyr, Mountain Ghost, and River Earl have correspondences.

Su Xuan’s self-proclaimed title did not come from Chu mythology, which inevitably made people have some thoughts.

But in the end... there were no objections.

When it comes down to it, it is still because "the strong are respected." Although Xing Hun had not been in the Yin-Yang School for long, his talent was shocking. In a short time, he cultivated Yin-Yang arts to an extremely strong realm, and later became Xing Hun.

His strength was undoubtedly powerful.

Yet, strong as Xing Hun was, before Su Xuan, it was but a flick of a finger.

In the blink of an eye, Xing Hun was defeated and severely injured.

The Moon God and the Eastern Lord might have been slightly stronger than Xing Hun due to their seniority, but these two did not choose to make a move.

Besides this, there was another matter... the attitude of Donghuang Taiyi.

From the moment he spoke those words at the beginning, to Xing Hun’s defeat, he had remained indifferent throughout.

Did His Excellency Donghuang lose? Was he truly willing to cede the position of Sect Master to another?

The Five Elders of the Yin-Yang School could not help but harbor many guesses.

But guesses, after all, were just guesses.

With those words from Donghuang Taiyi and Xing Hun’s failed challenge to Su Xuan, Su Xuan officially became the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School.

Not to mention the mysterious attitudes of the Eastern Lord and Moon God, the Five Elders each had their own thoughts.

For the Yin-Yang School disciples below the Five Elders, the change of Sect Master, while it once surprised many, did not cause much of a stir.

Mainly because the position of Sect Master was too far removed from them.

And Donghuang Taiyi had always maintained a mysterious persona.

The Five Elders could count on their fingers the number of times they had seen him, let alone the lower-level disciples.

To them, it did not matter who was the Sect Master.

Their most important task was to diligently cultivate Yin-Yang arts and improve their strength.

Because of an accident that led to him becoming the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan and Yan Yan Lingji stayed in the Yin-Yang School for the time being.

As the former Sect Master, regardless of whether he was willing to cede the position, as a senior, Donghuang Taiyi should rightfully guide the junior and support Su Xuan.

For example, by telling Su Xuan many of the secrets within the Yin-Yang School.

Donghuang Taiyi had no intention of doing so. Since taking over the position of Yin-Yang School Sect Master, he had spent countless efforts to strengthen the school. To hand over his life's work to an outsider like this, his unwillingness was imaginable.

However, firstly, his internal injuries had not healed, and secondly, in front of Su Xuan, he could feel a faint killing intent lingering upon him.

Su Xuan’s hidden meaning was that if he were unwilling, he would kill him!

Donghuang Taiyi truly could not understand why such a monster existed in the world. This strength clearly surpassed the Heaven-Human realm. Before he was certain he could survive under Su Xuan, he ultimately chose to compromise.

"Able to bend and stretch, he is indeed a talent. However, this also indirectly reveals that you have great ambition, and because of that ambition, you do not want to die!"

Listening to Donghuang Taiyi recount the many secrets of the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan cast a deep glance at him, thinking this.

However, after personally exchanging blows with Donghuang Taiyi, this rather mysterious figure from the original story seemed to have no mystery left for him.

Looking at the world, Donghuang Taiyi was indeed a master.

But unfortunately, for someone like him who possessed Earthly Fiend Dao arts, he could easily restrain him.

For practitioners of arts, the "Qi Prohibition" technique was the greatest nemesis.

For practitioners of external martial arts, the "Great Strength" technique allowed Su Xuan to easily contend with them.

The seventy-two Earthly Fiend arts, though inferior to the Heavenly Dipper Dao methods, were enough for Su Xuan to roam the world.

Ultimately, it was because this world was too small, and the general level of strength was too weak.

……

After finishing telling Su Xuan the many secrets of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi returned to his room.

Since Su Xuan defeated him and took his place as the new Sect Master, his status had become very delicate.

Call him Sect Master? The current Sect Master was Su Xuan, who called himself "Profound Heaven Dao Lord." As for Vice Sect Master, that had always been the Eastern Lord, and he could not go and snatch the Eastern Lord's position.

Of course, what Donghuang Taiyi cared about was not the position of Sect Master; what he cared about most was always the fact that Su Xuan had defeated him.

"Honestly, I should thank you. If not for you, I truly would not have known that there was such powerful strength in the world!"

Before this, Donghuang Taiyi was extremely conceited, believing that under heaven, there were almost no opponents. Even Beimingzi of the Daoist Heavenly Sect was only on par with him. Until now, he realized that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

He wanted to pursue even greater power.

And as far as he knew, there was one thing that could indeed help him obtain greater power.

That thing was currently in the hands of an old senior of the Yin-Yang School.

However, before finding that old senior, he went to another place.

The place where Xing Hun was.

Compared to the deep-scheming Donghuang Taiyi, Xing Hun was after all a youth. Even if he was brilliant and had made great contributions to the Qin State at the age of twelve, this only meant he was talented enough, not that he could be as steady as an adult.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Thinking of being defeated by Su Xuan with a flick of a finger, he was extremely furious.
